Missouri Southern State University and Ozarks Technical Community College are partnering to provide training sessions on doing business with the government.  The training, which is specifically designed for small businesses in the Springfield area, will include seminars on how to locate and obtain contracts from local, state and federal government agencies/installations.  

OTC and MSSU will also be providing one-on-one counseling by appointment to businesses through MSSU’s Heartland Procurement Technical Assistance Center.  Heartland PTAC is funded in part by the Department of Defense, which administers the congressional program.  There are 90 procurement technical assistance centers throughout the country.
